The 2016 LCCS website is now up and running. There are no changes to the formats of the Cannon/Goose and Champlain Series, but the Notice of Series now contains the criteria for determining the winner of the new Thouron Trophy, won last year by Bob Turnau and Bill Fastiggi in Buffalo Theory. The site also has a new section that displays photos of the trophies of both Series. http://www.lcchampionshipseries.org
LCYC is a member-run yacht club located in a sheltered cove on the southwest shore of Shelburne Bay in Shelburne, Vermont, USA. We offer moorings, activities, and community for our members, most of whom own a sailboat or powerboat. The object of the Club is to promote and encourage boating and sailing on Lake Champlain, while emphasizing racing, cruising, and education, without financial gain.

Lake Champlain offers some of the best freshwater cruising in North America. The beautiful scenery and charming lakeside destinations make it a great place to explore. LCYC organizes several rendezvous events. Spontaneous cruising events also materialize throughout the season. We have a number of scheduled events planned for the summer season. Cruisers are out and about just about every weekday and weekend throughout the summer.
